OK, for those smarter than myself at all things CSS, what is rthe best way to get a <HR> tag to display in colour in both IE (easy) and Firefox (mixed results!). I've been reading the information on:
http://www.computergripes.com/firefoxsites.html
about Horizontal Ruled Lines (3/4/ way down the page) and there doesn't seem to be any hard and fast rules other than trying to trick firefox into displaying a coloured line. For example:
Code:
HR{ COLOR: #FF9C39;}
in the stylesheet gives these outputs depending on use of the hr tag:
Code:
<hr> IE: orange Firefox:no color
<hr color="green" > IE: orange Firefox: orange
<hr style="background-color: green;"> IE: orange Firefox: no color
<hr style="background-color:green;" size="5"> IE: orange Firefox: green
the second one is what the author defaults to, actually giving the hr tag a color attribute which then forces firefox to then override it with the stylesheet attribute!

Also from that page, someone has said (as an example):
Code:
hr {color: orange}
hr {border-width: 7px; border-style: solid; border-color: orange
i.e. specified twice in the stylesheet, gets it to work in both IE and firefox.
What should I be using?
Thanks
